US and Saudi $6 billion aid pledge boosts Egypt's shares
I am not interested in any other weapons but considering 6 billion is huge amount, which if not directly used to buy weapons, can help Egypt to allocate its own resources towards military procurement.
Anyway, without getting side-tracked, I do hope Egpyt get the right armaments for its jets and avoid the debacle that were the non BVR F16s it bought.

It said:
"CAIRO // Egypt's shares rallied to a one-month high as the US and Saudi Arabia pledged a total of $6 billion (Dh22bn) in support for the North African country recovering from the aftermath of a popular uprising that ousted its president."
Where did you see aid.. those might have been loans too.. Remember the IMF loan of $12 billion not long ago.. why Saudi Arabia didn't cover that? if it was financing everything Egyptian, like some are pretending here..
Jealousy and envy are very prominent in this thread again..Egypt was one of the cradles of Human civilisation..and was always independent..That is the nation that has defeated in modern times a fully US backed Usrael on the battlefield, in the air and in the sea.. get your acts together and think before writing nonsense posts..
Saudi Arabia has helper every Muslim nation that needed help.. no one can deny it.. Heck, it even helped the Christian Haiti with $10 billion dollars when it was hit very badly with a catastrophe..
As for Morsi himself.. I had no bad feelings about him..until I saw him grabbing his crouch in public to adjust his Tes****** in his pants in front of international audience and cameras during an official visit to the white house.. anyone can google the video if he wants..Then I thought, this is no statesman and no diplomat.. I was appalled by his move.. mostly because he was educated in the US and has worked there for a while.. the higher circles governing the world are too sophisticated for gestures like that.. A few months later he was toppled..
Another example of bad behaviour was president of Venezuela Hugo Chafez (Whom I liked a bit ..until..), when in a meeting with Obama in the white house _again_, went to The latter while he was still sitting and talked to him near his ear and padded him on the shoulder before leaving the meeting at the end of it..And guess what.. a few months latter, he was diagnosed with a cancer, and after some more few month of suffering he died..
Strange things happen if one misbehaves out of the international diplomatic box!!!
So welcome to Su-35 in Egyptian Airforce along with existing order of Mig35
And Su-57 in next 10 years
Yes definitely.. 29 SU-35 _or other_ were officially announced on Egyptian television.. but they Just said SU-??.. along with the other military deals; Mig-35, KA-52.. and so on.. most people think it is the SU-35..
As for the SU-57, it is possible to sign a deal for it in the next 5 years.. to be operational by 2025.. meaning in 7 years..
